denver is fun

we went to denver to celebrate our one year anniversary. romantic? yes. our dream destination? no. fun as hell? hell yesh. when you live in rural south dakota and stare at golden waving prairies and puffy thick white clouds all day - anywhere seems exciting that has people WALKING around, and things that are open past 8pm, and coffee shops that know what microfoam is (i know we are snobs, but super radd coffee snobs who tip well!!), and restaurants that don't use american cheese and margarine. with extra margarine. so basically, what i am trying to say is it doesn't take much for baktash and i to be excited. so that is why denver was perfect. not to mention it is a surprisingly awesome hip city! we DUG it!!

here are some shots of our weekend there. HOW FORTUITOUS WAS IT THAT ON OUR ANNVIERSARY DAY WE WENT AND ATE AT AN OVERLY POPULATED HIPSTER JOINT THAT HAD A WORKING PHOTOBOOTH?!?!??! i think very.

we even managed to find a persian grocery store!! torshi and doogh come to us!! woot-woot!!
you can't see what i am holding/displaying, but it is a ashtray that is a dragon and a naked woman in love. it is really awesome and disgusting, to say the least.
the best coffee shop in denver with the sweetest, nicest owner, noah who started this shop 9 months ago. we loved it. a must try if you are ever in denver.
this photo is rad & one of my faves, even though the guy taking it was so nervous that it made us somewhat blurry. sigh. thanks anyway, nervous dude.
